PC players can now begin preloading the Public Test Server (PTS) for Year 7 Season 3 of Tom Clancy's The Division 2. This is the first opportunity for agents to get hands-on with the next major update before it's deployed to the live servers. The testing phase is scheduled to kick off on Friday, November 14th.
Full patch notes for this PTS build are already available, giving dedicated players a head start on what changes to look for, from new gear to potential balance shifts that could shake up the current meta.
PTS Go-Live Schedule
The servers are set to open simultaneously across all regions, so you can squad up and start testing at the same time. Mark your calendars for these specific times:
- CET: 2:00 PM
- ET: 8:00 AM
- PT: 5:00 AM
Why This PTS Matters
The PTS is more than just an early look; it's a critical phase where player feedback directly influences the final version of the update. This is your chance to test new builds, identify bugs, and report on balance issues with any new weapons or gear sets. By participating, you help Massive Entertainment refine the experience before it reaches the entire player base.
What should players focus on during the Y7S3 PTS?
While the full scope of the season is under wraps until the patch notes are fully digested, players should focus on any new content, major system changes, and balance adjustments to existing gear. Testing how new items interact with established builds and reporting any unintended consequences is invaluable for ensuring a smooth official launch. Getting the preload done now means you'll be ready to jump in the moment the servers are live.
